Bench Press (paused): 200x3,3,3

- I felt elbow pain during these work sets, most likely from yoke training during a strongman session on February 27th. I only feel it during bench workouts, not squat or dead. It's most likely lateral epicondylitis (inflammation of the outer elbow) which I had in the past and will hopefully be gone before my upcoming powerlifting meet on March 27th.

Incline Dumbbell Press: 70*x7,5,3

- I failed the 6th and 4th reps of the respective 2nd and 3rd sets, both near the top. I'm not sure if my elbows were the reason and/or if it was because I hadn't done incline dumbbell press in a while. I also wanted to do a few sets of the Tate press for triceps, but it wouldn't have been a good idea due to the elbows.
